Camera

So, over the last few years I haven't taken too many photos. My old camera lasted me for a while but I felt like it only allowed me to take the most basic photos... anything taking a bit more skill or patience and the picture turned out crap. I've always attributed this to the camera but maybe, in fact, it's my own dumb ass. Either way, we'll never know, because, finally, today I purchased a new camera. I took the advice of a good friend and semi-professional photographer, Reid, and bought a camera that he recommended. Now I can share more of my life with my family and friends, and not just over the phone. I look at it as a nice investment. In screwing around with it this afternoon (hey, I'm outta school now, what the hell else am I going to do?), I took a few kinda cool pictures... mostly of the car, but a couple of others as well.

Disclaimer: I know virtually NOTHING about photography. I just want to HAVE pictures.

Reid taught me how to take "depth of field" photos. These are my attempts...

Anyway... more to come. Special thanks to Reid for helping me get this started.
